For centuries, martial artists have understood a fundamental principle to safely and effectively wield a sharp blade, training with a tool that replicates its size, feel and weight is essential. This practice dates back to ancient times, such as the Romans who utilized wooden swords to train their gladiators. However, traditional wooden training tools were prone to issues like rotting, cracking, chipping or splintering and were limited in their use across different weather conditions. Cold Steel addressed these challenges by developing a series of synthetic polymer substitutes. These innovative training tools are cost-effective and exceptionally durable, remaining unaffected by all but the most extreme temperatures. They are waterproof, weatherproof and engineered to withstand rigorous training sessions. By pioneering these synthetic alternatives, Cold Steel has provided martial artists with reliable tools that faithfully mimic the handling characteristics of real blades while significantly reducing the risk of serious injury to both practitioners and training partners. This commitment to innovation continues to support martial arts training worldwide, ensuring practitioners can refine their skills safely and effectively regardless of environmental conditions.
